Payments of dividends in sterling

On 29 July 2014, the Directors of BP p.l.c. announced that the interim dividend for the second quarter 2014 would be US$0.0975 per ordinary share (US$0.585 per ADS). This interim dividend is to be paid on 19 September 2014 to shareholders on the share register on 8 August 2014. The dividend is payable in cash in sterling to holders of ordinary shares and in US dollars to holders of ADSs. A scrip dividend alternative has been made available for this dividend allowing shareholders to elect to receive their dividend in the form of new ordinary shares and ADS holders in the form of new ADSs.

Sterling dividends payable in cash will be converted from US dollars at an average of the market exchange rate over the four dealing days from 3 September 2014 to 8 September 2014 (£1 = US$1.63609). Accordingly, the amount of sterling dividend payable in cash on 19 September 2014 will be:
